Cruising Itineraries

San Juans to Desolation Sound Cruise - 14 day

Our cruising area is as vast as it is magnificent.
The protected water ways, innumerable islands, bays
and anchorages extend from south of Seattle all the
way through western British Columbia and on to Glacier
Bay in Southeast Alaska.

You can choose to enjoy the many waterfront resorts,
the amenities and attractions of the seaside towns and
cities, or simply find your way to remote anchorages and
deserted islands.

Day 1: Sucia Island

Depart from Anacortes and
head for Sucia Island Marine Park. Plentiful, safe
anchorage is to be had in Echo Bay. Ashore there are
hiking trails and beachcombing.

Day 2: Nanaimo B.C.

Nanaimo via Bedwell Harbour at South Pender Island to
check into Customs. The day's cruise takes you through
the Canadian Gulf Islands to Nanaimo. Nanaimo is replete
with marine services and yacht provisioning as well as
fine restaurants.

Day 3: Egmont

With an eye to the weather, you are off to an early
departure across the Straits of Georgia to Egmont.
Moorage is available at the government float or the
marina. Take a hike to nearby Sechelt rapids where
the current can run 14 knots.

Day 4: Chatterbox Falls

Chart a course for a journey up Jervis Inlet to
Chatterbox Falls. This cruise is one reason why
the Pacific Northwest is irresistible. The 120-foot
waterfall against the granite peaks is a photographers
delight. The adventuresome head to shore for a bracing
dip in one of the pools under the falls.

Day 8: Prideaux Haven

Leave early and take the long way, or take the short
way to get set up in a small cove or off a deserted
islet. The area is rich with oysters found on the warm
beaches. Sunrise is over 5000 foot granite peaks.

Day 14: Anacortes

An early departure provides an easy trip through Obstruction
Pass and return to Anacortes. Take some time to get your land legs back in
historic downtown Anacortes and begin to make plans for
next year.
